Don't forget Fido, the dog/fish. I always thought of that "purple gorrilla" as a pink orang-utan.
As for some discussion, I think it only makes sense for some kids to conjure up imaginary pets if their parents either can't or won't let them have real ones. The more "animal-inspired" IFs are probably just that-people need inspiration for just about anything, and animals are cool looking and fun, why not use them?
